Thread locals provide persistent connections, so I'm also changing the summary of the bug to be more accurate with respect to what's intended.

added a comment - 12/Jul/12 8:36 AM I think connection pool is quite related thing. There is good implementation in mongo driver https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-ruby-driver/blob/master/lib/mongo/util/pool.rb I think I can re-use it because it is also Apache-2 licensed
